Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.6" was replaced by "(6/10)".

Step  1  :

            3
 Simplify   —
            5

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  3    
  — +  12
  5    

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  5  as the denominator :

          12     12 • 5
    12 =  ——  =  ——————
          1        5   

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

 2.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

 3 + 12 • 5     63
 ——————————  =  ——
     5          5 

Final result :

  63            
  —— = 12.60000 
  5
